To lighten up the recipe, I used only cooked egg whites and used light mayo. Still very tasty! Adding a little salt and pepper also added some great flavor. It's also very light and refreshing in a sandwich.

I used less sugar than the recipe called for (3/4 c. white sugar, 3/4 c. brown sugar) and I found them to be sweet enough. I might think about making them with Crisco next time so they don't flatten out as much.

I made these muffins with two types of jam/jelly. I found the strawberry jam muffins to be a bit dry. The grape jelly muffins were very moist and sweet though! I would recommend the grape jelly before the strawberry jam.

I left out the green peppers and instead, added fresh sliced mushrooms. Also used brown rice istead of white rice. Was a bit soupy and had to bake about an hour and a half. Would recommend cutting back the water and maybe not adding the porkchops until 30 minutes in so they don't overbake.
